Ecuador defaults on foreign debt

Ecuador is to default officially on billions of dollars of foreign debt it considers "illegitimate", says President Rafael Correa.

Mr Correa said he had given the order not to approve a debt interest payment due on Monday, describing the international lenders as "monsters".

The president said that some of Ecuador's $10bn debt was contracted illegally by a previous administration.

It is the first debt default by a country in Latin America since 2001.

At that time, Argentina failed to repay debt in the midst of its financial meltdown.

Restructure plan

Speaking in the city of Guayaquil, Mr Correa said "as president I couldn't allow us to keep paying a debt that was obviously immoral and illegitimate", according to the AFP news agency.

Dat vind ik nu eens moedig zie.

Gewoon zeggen: "mijn rechtse neoliberale voorgangers hebben ons land opgezadeld met illegale, immorele, monsterlijke schulden. Dat is hun probleem. Wij betalen niks terug. Foert."

Geweldig, toch?
